THE
PRODUCER |
In 1874, Edmond BARNAUT married with
the heiress of an old family of wine growers in Bouzy, Appoline
GODMÉ-BARANCOURT, and created his own trademark of Champagne.
Since this era, in the silence and the freshness of the caves of
pure chalk and of red bricks, operates the mystery of the birth
of Champagne.
At the beginning, there is the Vine: this liana which it is
necessary to know to overcome, for its fruit brings to the men
joy, refinement and user-friendliness.
In this family cradle where each bottle ripened during several
years, we come to inspire us of the philosophy of our ancestors.
With their usages and the present knowledge and techniques, the
curiosity and the quest of the perfection allow us to imagine
and to progress.
Homage to the patient work of the men and the women who
sublimates what the nature offers of good. Searches of knowledge,
rigor, intuition, observation and understanding enliven a
process that inspires each generation .
It is necessary consequently well know it for tame and control
it, reason its protection, respect its environment. It is
necessary to observe and understand the Nature, the soils and
the climate to be in order with wisdom on this plant, because
there is good wine only with good grape.
